He noted discrepancies between what he witnessed during the shooting and theWarren Commission's report. He expressed self-doubt, saying, "I’m beginning to doubt myself," and admitted that he now wonders about the events of that fateful day. He recalled feeling a sense of unease at the scene of the assassination, where there was a lack of security personnel to secure the area. The agents present were primarily focused on protecting the president, leaving little attention to secure the surroundings. Landis revealed that it wasn’t until 2014 that he realized the discrepancy between the location of the bullet’s recovery that he The Kennedys’ motorcade drives through downtown Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, moments before the shooting of President John F. Kennedy. (Bettmann/Corbis) described and what was cited in the Warren Commission’s report. When he approached several officials with this revelation, he was met with skepticism. Officials claimed that he had filed multiple written reports with the Commission decades ago, but none of those reports mentioned finding the near-perfect bullet or placing it on a stretcher. He attributed the omissions to his state of shock and sleep deprivation at the time he filed the reports. Landis's decision to break his silence after six decades was influenced by a desire to tell his story. He explained that he no longer had a specific goal in mind but felt that enough time had passed, and he needed to share his recollections of that historic day. In 2014, Landis received an email from a former Secret Service colleague, Clint Hill, who cautioned him against speaking out about what he had witnessed, citing potential ramifications. Hill's email was shared with the New York Times. Historical Implications. Historian James Robenalt, who assisted Landis in preparing his forthcoming memoir, highlighted the significance of Landis's eyewitness account. Robenalt suggested that if the "magic bullet” did not hit both President Kennedy and Governor Connally, it could imply the existence of a separate shot. Robenalt referred to FBI recreations, which indicated that Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged lone gunman, may not have had enough time to fire two separate shots quickly enough to hit both President Kennedy and Governor Connally. Oswald was said to have used a bolt-action Carcano Model 38 infantry carbine. The revelations from Paul Landis's interview have reignited questions and debates surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. His recollections challenge a key element of the official narrative and may lead to a reexamination of the events that took place on that fateful day in Dallas, Texas. Hunter’s Gun Woes and the Biden Family Drama By Richard Luthmann In the annals of the Biden family saga, the recent indictment of Hunter Biden on gun-related charges stands as a perplexing twist. Presented by U.S. Attorney David C. Weiss, who now inexplicably sports the title of "special counsel," this development comes on the heels of Judge Maryellen Noreika's swift rejection of Weiss' previous plea agreement, a deal that would have brushed Hunter's gun-related crimes under the rug with a mere slap on the wrist. Hunter’s predicament centers around his untruthful declaration that he was not addicted to any controlled substances when purchasing a Colt revolver in 2018. This falsehood is undeniable, as Hunter himself openly admitted his drug dependency in his ill-conceived 2021 memoir. The third count in Weiss’ indictment relies on a federal provision that deems firearm possession by an “unlawful user of, or addicted to, any stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance” as criminal. This provision may well clash with the current Second Amendment interpretations, as recently demonstrated by a U.S. Court of Appeals decision. However, Delaware, Hunter's battleground, falls outside the jurisdiction of the Fifth Circuit, which only governs Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Contesting the charges on constitutional grounds could put Hunter in the awkward position of championing a maximalist Second Amendment argument – a situation he'd likely want to avoid. Furthermore, even if such an argument succeeded, it would leave the first two counts of the indictment unaddressed. In a nutshell, the three charges could theoretically, albeit implausibly, carry a sentence of up to 25 years behind bars. At first glance, Weiss’ abrupt about-face within a mere month and a half might suggest remorse for an earlier blunder. It's conceivable that his ego took a hit when Judge Noreika rejected his opaque plea bargain, and he now seeks redemption. But this interpretation might not hold water. Zooming out, we find House Speaker Kevin McCarthy initiating a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, who is embroiled in Hunter's questionable overseas business ventures. There's mounting evidence that Joe was at least aware of if not personally profiting from, Hunter's entanglements with Ukrainian oligarchs, Romanian tycoons, Chinese investors, and more. Simultaneously, pressure is mounting from Democratic voters, elites, and media voices calling on Joe to retire rather than seek reelection next year. For instance, Washington Post column David Ignatius boldly declared, "President Biden should not run again in 2024." Could it be that Hunter had a heart-to-heart with his father, where Joe, in his capacity as the nation's chief, instructed his somewhat muddled son to shoulder the blame and play the fall guy? The Weiss indictment could serve as a shiny distraction amidst the smoke enveloping the “big guy.” Is this indictment designed to make McCarthy and House Republicans forget the impeachment inquiry they just launched? Worse yet, might it serve as the convenient endpoint of Weiss' "special counsel" probe, thereby letting Hunter off the hook for his far more sinister overseas dealings, potentially involving money laundering or violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act? Ultimately, the Biden Regime's handling of Hunter's indictment will reveal its true nature. It's a moment of truth, a "put up or shut up" moment. If Weiss concludes his inquiry here, content with firearm charges while ignoring Hunter's involvement in overseas bribery and corruption potentially linked to the president, the Regime will effectively vindicate those conservatives who've long criticized its "two-tier system of justice." The same holds if Hunter manages to escape prison time in a future plea agreement for gun offenses that would likely incarcerate anyone else for years. In the wake of Weiss’ indictment, the stakes have become starkly clear. We now understand what’s on the line, and it goes beyond Hunter’s freedom.
